LiveBlog 8: Romo v. Evil

Doesn't Romo look like the combination of Brett Favre and Troy Aikman in that photo.

"Go Dallas Cowboys! go Cowboy team! We're here to cheer you on your way with a great big yippee-ai-ay! Show 'em Dallas Cowboys, you're really booming on the beam. The eyes of Texas are upon you, Dallas Cowboy team!"

Today's inactives -- everyone may talk about the Pats not having Maroney if they lose, but don't lose sight of the Cowboys being without their starting CB and deep threat on offense. At least Keith Davis is back.

I wanted to let you know my laptop internet service is down, so I can only post from a romm with no TV. That means I can only comment during commercial breaks. Luckily, at the rate Moss is scoring, I'll be able to post often.

I don't understand why Garrett is so aggressive in play calling in the second half and yet insists on trying to establish the run on the first few drives. Unless you're going to start MBIII, it's not going to work!

Still a good drive even settling for 3. It let the defense rest a little and Romo looked much sharper with MBIII giving him 2nd and 5 instead of 2nd and 12. That said, another New England TD renders a "good drive" useless.

BTW Head Dude, book the destination of the Larry O'Brien for trophy next June. From watching 2 preseason games, I can say that we are a head and shoulders above every team in the West (and also the Association)

Look at it this way, if they take care of business at home against Minnesota next week, they're 6-1 heading into the bye, with two weeks to get ready for games against the Eagles and Redskins and a chance to put away the division. And you come away feeling that New England is better, but not that much better, and if we're lucky enough to play them again, with a healthy Henry, you roll the dice one more time.
